A New Do For A New School

Sarah's new haircut.

Sarah entered 7th grade and Junior High this year and she wanted to do something different with her hair. I took her to a salon and they not only cut it, but they showed her how to straighten it and how to make it not so poofy. She loves it and I think it's darling (even if she does look much older.)

Almost done!

The back! So pretty!

Wait! We Still Own A Wave Runner?!?!?!

We decided to get our wave Runner out again this summer and see if it still worked. It's been a long time since we had it working and we weren't sure if it would run or not. We decided to take it to Utah Lake and to our happy surprise it ran. We blew up the tube and took the kids for a ride and Kenny and I even got to water ski once. It was so wonderful and I'm sure we'll have to get it tuned up, registered, and out in the water next summer.

Such a beautiful day for fun at the lake.

Mendon Days

Crazy Cousins

My sister-in-laws town of Mendon has their Mendon Days on the weekend closest to the 24th of July. Because we happened to be in Logan I decided to take the kids to Mendon Days with their cousins. It started out with a small parade, followed by the firemen hosing down all the kids with water and foam. After that the kids all played on the bounce houses for hours. It was so much exhausting fun. We finished the night with a spectacular fireworks show. I think we may need to go back next year.

Those firetrucks sure like our cute girls (and Ben too)

Adam got all wet and therefore cold. Poor boy.

Riding the horses was a highlight for the little kids.
